Sometimes things get really tough.

If you find that your partner is being abusive or harmful, we got your back. And even if you're not ready to talk, you can message us on Instagram. We offer both advocacy and legal services if you need support.

We offer:

Counseling: Client-driven work with individuals to examine issues/situations, improve understanding of current circumstances. Encouraging individuals to express themselves and be able to discuss situations that they may be struggling with.

Safety Planning: Develop skills and options for creating a healthy relationship with your partner. Your advocate can help you or someone you know with personalized safety plans to keep them safe.

Domestic Violence Education: Learn the warning signs of abuse, common tactics that are used to gain and maintain power and control, and traits that contribute to both healthy and unhealthy relationships.

Court Accompaniment/Legal Referrals: Youth can request an Advocate to accompany them to court hearings for issues such as restraining orders and paternity cases.

Community Resources: The Teen Advocate can explain and refer teens to various community resources, including those related to employment, housing, financial assistance, counseling, children, and more.

Legal Services

DVAC lawyers offer legal services based on a sliding scale fee. DVAC attorneys can help with legal needs such as Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs), divorce, paternity, and post decree cases.
